Top & Base Coats

Professional top coats and base coats — Artisan UltraSealer, UltraShine, UltraDry Air Dry, Touch N Seal UV Dry, Efex Sealer, SunBlocker, and StikBase in 0.5 oz through 32 oz; CND Creative Stickey Base Coat and Super Shiney Top Coat; Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat; Nail Tek Intensive Therapy II; Elfa Anti Chip Base Coat, No More Yellow, Quick Dry Oil, and Airbrush Sealer; Elfa American Manicure Glaze; and nail polish thinners from Artisan and M Professional Choice — available through our nail supply warehouse in Carol Stream near Chicago.

A top coat that delivers a mirror-like shine, seals the color without yellowing, and holds up through the full wear period is the difference between a manicure that looks professional for two weeks and one that chips by day three. A base coat that bonds cleanly to the natural nail, prevents peeling, and doesn’t lift at the edges is the foundation every polish service is built on. This collection covers every top coat and base coat format your salon needs: Artisan UltraSealer in 0.5 oz through 32 oz for the highest-volume station use, Artisan UltraShine for mirror-like finish, Artisan UltraDry Air Dry for chip-resistant fast drying, Artisan Touch N Seal UV Dry for UV lamp curing, Artisan Efex Sealer for nail art and airbrush sealing, Artisan SunBlocker for non-yellowing sun protection, Artisan StikBase for strong adhesion between natural nails and polish, CND Creative Stickey Base Coat and Super Shiney Top Coat, Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat in 0.5 oz and 4 oz refill, Nail Tek Intensive Therapy II for weak and peeling nails, Elfa Anti Chip Base Coat, No More Yellow sunscreen top coat, Quick Dry Oil, and Airbrush Sealer, Elfa American Manicure Glaze in Red, White, and Pink, and nail polish thinners from Artisan and M Professional Choice. Whether you’re a salon owner stocking a full top and base coat station in bulk sizes, a nail technician building a complete manicure kit, or a DIY user looking for a professional-grade top coat for at-home use, the right product is here.
